God's creation
Blessed to be born in this world
We all may feel that's the truth
Until I read this-
An abandoned baby
Malnourished, hardly an year old
Famine struck
Skin and bone
No food to feed
No water to have
Stranded alone in barren land
Helpless eyes staring straight
Standing legs more like a bamboo stick
Cerebral neurons popping out
Veins struggling to carry weak blood
Oh God! Nothing more I can add…
My heart is not strong enough
To read the rest-
A vampire vulture
Sitting beside and
Looking eager to end its hunger!
I pray! Save these innocents!
Let this never happen again!
And who is to blame for this atrocity? We, the writers, speakers, voters. And it continues. Always.
I was reading this Poem and to say the truth to say something to God in Poetic. or 'bird language' is very difficult. I suppose that your passion for Poetry is not your real life profile, because to be a Poet or a Prophet of none is like to be a little bird in a jungle, without force to pretend with only words, the impossible the truth, the harmony. Though, God is only the Hero of our time or age, that Vulture, the dirty Nature, is the real God and will defeat and kill, for sure, your God. So you felling the hurt as you try to come down to the ground or jungle square.
You are right to say that is sad. I hope for the to be better, so it does not happen again. Bien! !
